Richard Jones [Tue, 9 Nov 2010 12:08:06 +0000 (12:08 +0000)]
generator: Add Pointer parameter type to the generator.

This allows generic "foo *bar" pointers to be passed to
library functions (not to daemon functions).

In the language bindings (except Perl) these are handled
as generic int64s with the assumption being that any
pointer can be converted to and from this.  There is room
to add specific support for some pointer types in future
by specializing the match cases.  However this is inherently
tricky because it depends on the implementation details of
other bindings (eg. to support virDomainPtr in OCaml depends
on the implementation details of the ocaml-libvirt project).

Perl is slightly different in that you have to supply a
typemap.  Again this would depend on the implementation
detail of an external library unless you supplied a generic
typemap for int64.

Ensure atomic creation of a cached appliance

Cached appliances are discovered by their predictable path. Previously we were
creating a cached appliance directly in this predictable path. This had at least
2 undesirable effects:

* Interrupting appliance creation would leave a corrupt appliance
* 2 processes could simultaneously attempt to create the same appliance, causing
  corruption.

This patch causes the cached appliance to be created in a temporary directory,
and then renamed to the predictable path. As rename is an atomic operation, this
makes the whole creation atomic.

This patch also changes the predictable path to have a prefix of 'guestfs.'.
This will make it simpler for system administrators to clean up old cached
appliances.

This patch resolves RHBZ#639405

Call febootstrap-supermin-helper using the new -u and -g options

Use febootstrap-supermin-helper's new -u and -g command line options to setuid,
rather than doing it in libguestfs.

This resolves an issue with the generation of the cached appliance checksum. The
checksum was being generated by a call to febootstrap-supermin-helper through
popen(). Unfortunately, a bash misfeature meant that euid would be reset to uid,
and the checksum was generated for uid, not euid. When virt-v2v is writing to a
RHEV target, uid == 0 and euid == 36, which resulted in a cached appliance being
created for root with permissions for uid 36.

Note this requires febootstrap 2.10.
